Paradise Lost
QJs 6125 and 6396 marched up the bank from Zhongwei to Gantang with a long coal train on 10 January 1994. In the background another pair of QJs can be seen passing Mengjiawan station with a downhill freight.These were great days on the recently doubled line with frequent freights hauled by gleaming QJs but they wouldn't last. The first diesels had just arrived and electrification work was underway. Within months, the best locations would be poled and DF4s would work the majority of trains.
